LOS ANGELES, CA, MAY 19, 2010 — Champion Real Estate Company, one of the West Coast’s premier commercial real estate developer and investors, announced today that its retail division is looking to acquire $500 million in retail real estate in the Western United States in the next three years.
Spearheading the initiative is 25 year industry veteran Steve Boss (top right photo) who was hired as the firm’s new Managing Director of retail investment and development.
Boss was formerly the CEO and founder of Afton Property Investment Corporation and held senior management positions with Pan Pacific Retail Properties and Combined Properties.
